Uhhh - isn't this a bit like a facist takeover? Kill any organization that you dislike, demonize and silence the opposition, change any law that is inconvenient for your power grab???????????????RECALL WALKER NOW!!!!!

So how does someone assure themselves that the person collecting the signatures is not trying to subvert the process and will be throwing the signatures away? I realize that this is a felony already, but there is almost no way to enforce it unless the people who signed know who the collector is.

I'd sure like to see the Fitzgeralds recalled. Like so many of the other me-publicans, if things don't go their way or to their advantage, oh me, oh my, we have to change the law/policy/procedure!!!!!!!!!! More legislative bills needed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so now I'm waiting for all the right-wing responses.... fire away!

The GAB is doing nothing other than looking to see if all the blanks are filled in with something. They have already said that they will not check any of the signatures for validity or duplication. That is up to Walker to do.

They have basically told the recall supporters to fill in as many blanks as you can and we won't look at them. If Walker's team doesn't get them all well too bad.

That does not sound like Democracy to me. Then again I always believed we lived in a country with a one person one vote democracy. Seems that even though that occured last year if you didn't like the results you want a do over and don't want to follow any common decency to get your way.

Fitz says,"I like that other system better"! Who cares what you like fitz? Go away!"There's an adversarial process designed to weed out fake names as well as people who aren't qualified to sign and duplicate signatures," Magney said.
